*1
Although recorded MPEG Audio Layer-2 lies outside of the NTSC standard, there are many DVD players that can playback. For Dolby Digital AC3 sound, Dolby Digital certified codec is used.
*2
These resolutions are supported by the Video CD and DVD-Video standard. Although non-supported resolutions can be converted through software encoding, non-supported MPEG-2 cannot be used in DVD-Video creation.
*3
The software encoder performs the encoding process and converts files into MPEG format.
*4
Although MPEG-1 files can also be used in DVD-Video, file size is restricted to 2 Mbps or less.
*5
If a DVD image or VCD image is generated, writing using a software that supports disc image writing is also possible.
